ay and in what sense they say it.
Those who posit numbers only, and these mathematical, must be considered later; but as regards those who believe in Tyler Toffoli Jersey the Ideas one might survey at the same time their way of thinking Oscar Lindberg Jersey and the difficulty into which they fall. For they at the same time make the Ideas universal Classic Lace Czyścibut 5818 and again treat them as separable and as individuals. That this is not possible has been argued before. The reason why those who Tall Sequins Czyścibut 3173 described their substances as universal combined these two characteristics in one thing, is that they did not make substances identical with sensible things. They thought that the particulars in the sensible world were a state of Anton Stralman Jersey flux and none of them remained, but that the universal was apart from these and something different. And Socrates gave the impulse to this theory, as we said in our earlier discussion, by reason of his definitions, but he did not separate universals from individuals; and in Zdeno Chara Jersey this he thought rightly, in not separating them. This is plain from the results; for without the universal it is not possible NHL Mens Buffalo Sabres Black Camo Stack Pullover Hoodie to get knowledge, but the separation is the cause of the objections that arise with regard to the Ideas. His successors, however, treating it as necessary, if there are to be any substances besides the sensible and transient substances, that they must be separable, had Joe Nieuwendyk Jersey no others, but gave separate existence to these universally predicated substances, so that it followed that universals and individuals were almost the same sort of thing. This in itself, then, would be one difficulty in the view we have mentioned.
Book XIII Chapter 10
Let us now mention a point which presents a certain difficulty both to those who believe in the Ideas and to those who do not, and which was stated before, at the beginning, among the problems. If we do not suppose substances to be separate, and in the way in which individual things are said to be separate, we shall destroy substance in the sense in which we understand ‘substance’; but if we conceive substances to be separable, how are we to conceive their elements and their principles?
If they are individual and not universal, (a) real things will be just of the same New Tall Škornji 1852 number as the elements, and (b) the elements will not be knowable. For (a) let the syllables in speech be substances, and their elements elements of substances; then there must be only Corey Perry Jersey one ‘ba’ and one of each of the syllables, since they are not universal and the same Luna Yd in form but each is one in number and a ‘this’ and not a kind possessed of a common name (and again they suppose that the ‘just what a thing is’ is in each case one). And if the syllables are unique, so too are the parts of which they consist; there will not, then, be more a’s than one, nor more than one of any of the other elements, on the same principle on which an identical syllable cannot exist in the plural number. But if this is so, there will not be other things existing besides the elements, but only the elements.
(b) Again, the elements will Jack Roslovic Jersey not be even knowable; for they arelinks:
